As you may know, at least 1,800 ministry partners are using Jesus Film® media and other digital tools, many as a key method of evangelism and church planting. A number of these ministries rely on Jesus Film Project to help equip and train their teams and workers, often in those difficult-to-reach nations or regions considered closed to the gospel. Others are helping to broadcast “JESUS” on television or radio, through online evangelism and streaming, and others through film showings on tablets and projector sets.

    This is why I invite you to consider a gift of $60 to send six microSD cards preloaded with “JESUS,” other Jesus Film media and follow-up materials. Your gift of $240 can send 24 microSD cards. These are perfect for hard-to-reach areas. They can be passed from person to person and are in great demand to follow up and disciple new believers.

    Should you have the resources, a gift today of $1,097 will equip a worker or film team with a 50-Viewer Projector Set to be used again and again. You might feel led to supply a 10-inch video tablet with a wireless Bluetooth speaker to reach small groups for a gift of $530. Each is preloaded with “JESUS,” follow-up films and more.

    Or you might be led to help broadcast “JESUS” this Easter. You can deliver the gospel directly into homes of people who might not hear in any other way. Your gift of $500 can help broadcast “JESUS” into the homes of up to 30,850 people. Your gift of $1,250 will do the same for up to 77,150 people. Click here for Easter Broadcasts.

    Your gifts help make all this possible. Give as God leads and according to your ability. I’m grateful for your partnership and prayers. To Him goes the glory.

Read these Amazing Reports

    ✹ A 13-year-old boy (I will call Omar) was living in the Middle East. He had just watched the film “JESUS” on television. Intrigued, he saw a number on the screen to learn more about the gospel by using WhatsApp^® (a phone app widely used in dangerous areas). He typed the number into the app and was connected with a counselor.

    Omar asked, “Can I become a follower of Christ even though my parents follow [the religion of my country]?”

    This may seem like a strange question for a boy to ask. But people in closed nations typically view Christianity as a Western religion, one that is not for them. Yet many are quietly searching for truth. (One staff member familiar with the area says that some will secretly spend much time on the internet, researching Christ—all the while wishing they had been born in the West.)

    People in these nations may falsely assume Jesus is not for them. And to leave their religion would betray their family, their nation, their very identity.

    But God was already at work in Omar’s life, for he told the counselor: “Jesus in the movie is the same person who has been appearing to me in dreams since I was 5 years old.”

    Realizing that Jesus had been calling Omar and was now working through the “JESUS” film, the counselor answered his questions via chat. He assured Omar that Jesus had indeed been calling him, ever since he was five.

    Though miles apart, Omar prayed with the online counselor through digital chat. That counselor has since been following up with 13-year-old Omar, teaching him and encouraging him through the Word of God.

    Such reports of people seeing Jesus in dreams and visions are not unique, particularly in areas where opposition to Christianity is strong. One woman testified that she had repeatedly seen Jesus in the sky after watching “JESUS.” When she prayed to receive Christ, she saw Him again. Another woman testified of Jesus coming to her four times in her dreams. And she, too, recognized Him when she watched “JESUS.”

    It is a great mystery as to why the Lord chooses to appear to people, even resembling the actor who portrays Jesus in the film. We hear of this often. “Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His ways!” (Romans 11:33 New Living Translation)

    ✹ Of course the impact of the film is the Word of God heard in a people’s heart language and the love they experience when they watch “JESUS.” I received this report of a man from Ethiopia who went to a film showing and sobbed throughout the film. When “JESUS” concluded, he ran to the front, tears running down his face, to give his life to Christ.

    Before all the people, he confessed: “I followed [a religion that forced me to pray to our god] only in Arabic, because our god understands only Arabic.

    “I was taught to kill and marry many wives to increase our religion’s population. So these last 16 years, I killed and I suffered greatly from blood guilt. But today as I watched the life of Jesus, I have come to know a Savior who teaches love, peace, and forgiveness and forgives even those who crucified Him in place of sinners. Today, I soak myself in His blood so I can come clean and worship Him alone! I am born again, and I denounce [all I have falsely believed]!”*

    ✹ Then I think of a man I will call Kamal. He responded to a social media ad placed by a Jesus Film Project^® digital team. After the counselor shared the gospel message via chat, Kamal typed: “How could I ignore such a merciful message from God? Of course, I want to learn and practice God and His teachings. I want to live with compassion and dignity in a world full of sin and cruelty. I am full of hope and peace.” And another person who was also reached through social media wrote, “I’ve finally found true peace for the first time in my life.”

    Stories of changed lives are coming to us from traveling film teams and increasingly from digital teams, plus those 1,800 ministry partners who use “JESUS.” Millions are watching “JESUS” online via YouTube, through television and radio broadcasts, and by video streaming. Across the globe they are searching for truth, for something better to fill the inner void that many feel.

    On a typical day last year, people around the world clicked “play” more than 900,000 times on a Jesus Film^® Project film, streamed through multiple platforms. And they watched in 895 different languages, on average in 197 nations!

    These outreaches are expected to grow in 2025.

    Then when they understand the gospel and believe, people once considered unreachable are being made new in Christ. I want you to know that your partnership is helping them to find the truth—as the prophet wrote, “people who walk in darkness will see a great light” (Isaiah 9:2). Thank you.
